March ahead, move on.
Prods the practical mind, forlorn.
But the heart has its own reason.
Cajoles, stay behind, do not be a party to treason.
Dilemma flanked on either side.
In whom shall I confide?
My soul is in fragments: torn
My body is bruised and shorn.
Move on : its the need of the hour.
Unaccompanied feelings of sour.
The skeletons of the past haunt.
Let not the shadows daunt.
Jettison the excess baggage.
Drown the ghosts of fears in the barrage.
Harnessing the energies towards a bright life
Nipping the internal turmoil and strife.
Crossover to the greener pasture
and to a brighter future.
For we all have only one life:
Live life to the fullest.
For :.Poets United
I relate to those times in life. What I found was, in just being still, life moves us forward anyway. We dont even have to do much. I love the lift of your last line: about living life to the fullest. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteLife pushes, jostles us ahead. I believe in living life to the fullest and am happy to know that you too share the same thinking. Thanx Sherry Blue Sky.

ReplyDeleteJettison the baggages. so very true!Loved the optimism in this and the simplicity with which you have put it through, the rhymes work well in rhythm
ReplyDeleteThanx Akila G. We all carry excess baggages and hence are burdened and fatigued with relationships. The need to throw them away is necessary.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is the excess baggage that weighs us down in life. The less we carry and the simpler we make life, the easier it gets. Nice.
